About the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X25BH
The AirTAC SDA100X25BH is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for heavy-duty tasks requiring substantial force in a minimal axial footprint. It delivers a robust 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 100mm bore and a 32mm piston rod. The short riveted body design drastically reduces mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, making it highly effective for machinery where space is strictly limited.
This specific configuration includes a male M26x1.5 threaded piston rod for secure mechanical coupling to your load. It also features a fluororubber (FKM) seal for enhanced thermal and oil resistance. The unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, and because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing.

Where the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X25BH Is Used
Injection Mold Platen Ejection
Drives heavy ejector pins on a plastic injection molding platen, utilizing the 3927 N extend force to break parts free within a confined press frame.
Metal Stamping Press Feed
Acts as a rugged stock guide and hold-down in a sheet metal stamping line, where the short 25mm stroke and FKM seals withstand elevated ambient heat.
Automotive Welding Clamp
Provides high-force clamping for chassis components in robotic welding cells, fitting into tight tooling envelopes where standard profile cylinders fail to fit.
Is the Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X25BH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA80, which provides 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to this SDA100 model for the full 3927 N output. A computed safe working load for this 100mm bore is approximately 2356 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 200.2 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure you specify the PT3/8 port, the 25mm stroke, the male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the FKM seal when ordering.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed bumper only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and acts neither as a lock nor a brake. If your application requires strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SDA Ultra Thin Cylinder SDA100X25BH FAQ
This 100mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3524.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No. This model uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, because this SKU lacks the -S magnet code, it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches; you would need the -S variant for position sensing.
